About
Hello my name is Laura and I am a local Chicago tennis coach with over 28 years of playing experience and over 10 years of teaching experience.
I am also a Certified Tennis Professional in France and I was a former professional tennis player who was ranked #452 on the WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) professional tour at the age of 18.
As a french junior, I was ranked #1 at the age of 17, won the National Championship and was also a member of the National Tennis Center located in Roland Garros for 3 years. I then chose to go back to high school and college after my career and obtained a master’s degree in finance and audit from one of the best colleges in France. During my studies, I was a tennis instructor at the two most important tennis clubs in France where I coached kids, teenagers and adults up to the most advanced levels-especially in individual private tennis lessons.
I have also coached a female professional tennis player who was ranked #200 in the WTA (singles) and #80 (doubles). I have a lot of experience in tennis on each side of this sport including technical, physical, tactical, mental and I have worked as a tennis coach for several years at Racing Club de France (Paris) as well as the Paris Country Club (bootcamp). I am very involved in the great game of tennis and my goal is to make you better everyday within your game.
I am offering private tennis lessons and hitting only sessions for teens and adults and for intermediate and advanced skill levels.
